(AFP) - The Philippines said Wednesday it will join the China-backed
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, despite being engaged in a dispute
with Beijing over its claims in the South China Sea.
马尼拉（法新社）-菲律宾不顾与北京关于南海领土划分的争端，宣布将加入由中国主导的亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)。
Viewed by some as a rival to the World Bank and the Philippines-based
Asian Development Bank, the AIIB is expected to begin operation early
next year with an opening ceremony scheduled for January 16-18.
亚投行（有人视其为世界银行和总部设立于菲律宾的亚洲开发银行的竞争对手）预计于2016年初开始运作，开幕式计划于1月16日至18日举行。
The United States and Japan, respectively the world’s largest and
third-largest economies and the principal shareholders in the ADB, have
both declined to join the AIIB, part of an initiative by China to expand
its financial clout in Asia.
美国和日本，作为世界上第一和第三大经济体，同时作为亚洲开发银行的主要股东，均拒绝加入亚投行（中国在亚洲扩大其金融影响力计划中的一部分）。
The move by the Philippines, a key US ally in Asia, comes after it took
Beijing to a United Nations tribunal in a bid to challenge its extensive
claims in the South China Sea.
菲律宾作为美国在亚洲的重要盟友，宣布加入亚投行，在此之前，为了挑战中国在南中国海广泛的领土主张，菲律宾将北京告上了联合国特别法庭。
"The two (AIIB membership and the maritime dispute) are totally
unrelated," Philippine foreign department spokesman Charles Jose told
AFP Wednesday.
菲律宾外交部发言人傅查理周三对法新社表示，加入亚投行和南海纠纷是完全不相干的两件事。
"The decision of the Philippines to be one of the founding members of
the China-led AIIB is based on the country’s economic development
imperatives," President Benigno Aquino’s spokesman Herminio Coloma told
AFP.
总统阿基诺发言人科罗马对法新社称，菲律宾加入中国主导的亚投行的决定是基于本国经济发展的要求。
"There is no linkage between this decision and the issues raised by the
Philippines with regard to maritime entitlement claims" in the South
China Sea, Coloma added.
科罗马还称，这个决定与菲律宾在南海的诉求没有关联。
In a statement, Philippines Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said his
country’s infrastructure financing needs would top $127.12 billion
between 2010 and 2020, quoting the ADB.
在一份声明中，菲律宾财政部长普利西玛引用亚洲开发银行的数据称，菲律宾的基础设施融资需求从2010年到2020年将超过1271.2亿美元。
He said the AIIB would "help close infrastructure financing gaps in many
countries" and may lead to "widening job and business growth
opportunities" for Filipinos.
他还称，亚投行“将有助于弥补许多国家的融资缺口”，并可能会“扩大菲律宾人就业和业务发展的机会”。
"The Philippines stands to gain from signing on as a founding member. We
can look forward to deepening our country’s technical expertise in
infrastructure as we expand bankable projects," he added.
“菲律宾将从签署为（亚投行）创始成员国的举动中得利，随着银行可担保的项目的增多，我们期望深化我国在基础设施领域的专业技术”，普利西玛称。
The Philippines would contribute $196 million to AIIB capital, he said.
他还称，菲律宾将向亚投行提供1.96亿美元的资金支持。
Beijing will be by far the largest shareholder of the AIIB at about 30
percent, according to the legal framework signed by 50 founding member
countries in late June.
根据50个创始成员国在6月底签署的法律框架规定，中国持有30%左右的亚投行股份，将是迄今为止亚投行最大的股东。
The bank is based in Beijing and currently has 57 members, including
Australia, Germany and Britain. It expects to offer its first batch of
project loans by mid-2016, according to China’s official Xinhua news
agency.
亚投行总部设在北京，包括澳大利亚、德国和英国在内共有57个成员国。根据中国官方媒体新华社报道，它预计将在2016年年中提供第一批项目贷款。
Asked whether the South China Sea dispute would affect the Philippines’
AIIB membership, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a
regular briefing: "I think the operation of the AIIB will be decided by
the AIIB rules, which are made by all the members."
在被问及中菲南海争端是否会影响菲律宾的亚投行成员资格时，中国外交部发言人陆慷在例行记者会上说：“我认为亚投行的运作会根据亚投行协定行事，该协定是所有成员共同协商达成的�！�
